£12 Million in prize money was won by PDPA members in 2019 the fund would be rather large in a few years as it would be growing at over a million a year at 10%. I doubt anyone within the PDPA is suitable qualified to invest this fund. So someone would have to be foudn who could give at least an equa...

Des is a millionaire, that didn't happen by accident, he is obviously business minded.

He's not a millionaire their business accounts suggests otherwise.

Any 'success' he has had is down solely to marriage.

Edited by Admin.

Surely a simple choice

one is a multi millionaire successful business person able to sit and negotiate deals from the work floor to the boardroom

and the other

is married to Paula

That isn't far off £50k just on travel costs.

Yesterday I was working out my own numbers - I travel over 200 days a year and last year I did 70 flights. All of my travel costs including F&B come to £28k. Where is the money going?

New bathrooms and bedrooms don't grow on trees you know

He has to be careful of competition laws , I'm sure he knows that

What competition is there? Tommy et al long ago upset WInmau and those boards used at the O2 were harder than a non soaked log end board

What does that have to do with anything?

It means they play county as an after thought and would if given the chance or option be playing something more beneficial to them which then takes you back to my original statement

None of these are "decent" players then?

How many of those on that list play county as their first priority ?

So you believe the grass roots need saving? The pure grass roots of darts ie pub darts problems don't come from mismanagement of the BDO. It's problems is the disappearing number of darts boards in pubs etc lesser numbers playing etc the JDC address this problem by providing a means or way for kids...

What a ridiculous question, not exactly top of the priority list would you think? Not really as any new initiative in darts is dead in the water without some kind of alignment to the professional game and if it is the case that to be affiliated to the PDC you also use their approved boards it makes...

Need to put the upset aside and make sure grassroots darts is looked after.

If you can answer this question but where do the PDC stand on makes of board used by anything affiliated to them ?
Is everything associated with the PDC bound to Unicorn boards ?

To give them a good laugh I imagine

So Wayne Williams is a director.

I just looked at the pdf i do hope to god they haven't sent that to the PDC or any other commercial bodies

What happened here then? I presume this Tommy Thompson shared a link. Conversation starter · 11 mins Today the Tri-Nations send out their vision of the future of grass root darts. I would like to thank everyone involved from England Scotland and Wales in the support and preparation of these documen...

Some top tips for you ingrates. As always,a reminder that Des is considerably richer than you.

I am ,like 99.999% of the rest of the human race , happy being poor knowing I don't have to wake up every morning looking at Paula

So in one breath multi millionaire successful business man Des Jacklin advises us all not to proceed buying a property as the market is about to crash and then in the next smug adventure he is out looking to buy more investment properties hmmm oh and it's Paula & I not that I wish to point out he is...

I bet Frank Branscombe is shitting himself!

Does this person actually exist ?

Or have they been made up to be a patsy ?

So then let’s say a previous director then releases a statement saying that the financial issues that caused his resignation and eventual liquidation are down to the previous resigned directors and nothing to do with him, would that change anything? And I’m talking about specifically anything that ...

All I know is if Frank Branscombe goes missing I know who is the number 1 suspect
